In a significant escalation of violence, Israeli airstrikes and ground operations in northern Gaza have reportedly killed nearly 100 people, including children, according to local health authorities and civil defense officials. The attacks, which commenced early Friday, have been described as one of the deadliest phases of bombardment since a ceasefire collapsed in March. Witnesses report intense bombardment, with artillery and air strikes targeting civilian areas, leading to widespread panic and displacement among residents. The Israeli military claims the operations aim to dismantle Hamas infrastructure, while the humanitarian situation in Gaza continues to deteriorate, with President Donald Trump acknowledging the starvation crisis in the territory during his Middle East tour. The ongoing conflict has resulted in over 53,000 Palestinian deaths since October 2023, raising urgent calls for humanitarian aid and a ceasefire.
